Infected

Overview

The Infected are an enemy group which appeared initially in City of Villains, in Mercy Island. But now it seems they are spreading and have already reached Paragon City as well, where they can be seen in neighborhoods such as Atlas Park or Galaxy City.

Enemy Types

Minions

Stricken Brawler

It doesn't take long for the cesspool water to have an effect. These petty thugs have been drinking from it for only a few days, but already the change in their appearance is apparent.

Revolver Ranged, Lethal, Med Damage
Small caliber side arm. Not very accurate.

Stricken Scavenger

It doesn't take long for the cesspool water to have an effect. These petty thugs have been drinking from it for only a few days, but already the change in their appearance is apparent.

Small caliber side arm. Not very accurate.

Pipe Melee, Smash, Moderate Damage
Pick up a stick or a piece of pipe and clobber your foes.

Lieutenants

Blighted

Blighted have been subsisting on cesspool water for many weeks now, and the changes they have undergone are far greater than skin deep. They no longer desire any nourishment other than that they take from the cesspool. Their old friends and dreams are entirely forgotten as they slip deeper into their irradiated daze.

Powers

Shotgun (Ranged) Cone, Lethal, Foe Knockdown
Good at close range. Fires a cone of buckshot pellets and can knock some foes down.

Brawl Melee Smash
Relentless but slow.

Bosses

Devolved

Devolved

Most people on Mercy agree: the Devolved no longer qualify as human. After months of consuming nothing but cesspool water, they have become tireless, witless, and wickedly strong. It would be fair to call them more zombie than man.

A very quick, but low damage attack, Neutrino Blast can reduce the targets defense.
